The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?

Agree with the toilet roll solution, the natural unbleached sounding very open in the midrange, with a natural bottom end.
Seriously though lifting speaker cables off the floor does give a subtle benefit, you can try anything - toilet rolls, kids wooden building blocks etc. No need to spend megabucks.

Mike60,
Thanks for the laugh. Just the mention of cable elevator directionality was enough to make me chuckle.
And Elizabeth; great post. I would have expected no less.

I have spent the last 8 years doing extensive listening tests on various cable elevator and de-elevator systems. Many friends loved to come over to do blind listening tests.

We noted the effects on directionality, material, material density, elevation pattern and elevation height.

The effects on speaker cables, interconnects and power cords lead to having to buy much longer lengths. For instance my stealth Indra of 1m had to be replaced with a 12m set so I could fit the elevators underneath.

I tried raising the elevators to various heights with significant improvements. A few inches off the ground did produced better lows than leaving cables on the floor, but on raising these cables higher I found much better highs. (my current elevators are 9 feet high).

The 9 foot elevators (best so far) are made from pure 5nines silver and insulated in doped paper and silk with carbon fiber supports. These made for an extra ordinary listen.

I had to buy bigger subs to balance these sparkling and extended highs. But it was for the subs which I found the cable de-elevators a brilliant solution. I was starting to get thinness from the subs but the de-elevation brought tight, plummeting bass, full of overtones and texture. de-elevating the power & sub cables cannot be underestimated.

The 9 foot elevators are prototypes but I am told will be available in time for CES 2013. The de-elevators are available in limited numbers.

Elevating cables higher to improve those highs...... it is so perfectly logical and yet I missed it! Unfortunately my ceiling is only 10ft high. I know this will sound out there to those stuck in their sad little paradigms, but I am going to glue my elevators to the ceiling. If that does not work I will locate my elevators upstairs in my bedroom and thread my cables through. It might not be that convenient during a midnight bathroom visit, but I refuse to allow a minor safety hazards restrict the enjoyment of my systems highs.

BTW-- I also tried to get my friends to join me in extensive double blind cable auditioning. All I can say is you find out who your real friends are, and I was deeply offended. Enough said.
